Most of us have known some large people. Large hearted, accepting, giving spaciously and thoughtfully, helpful. Large, not physically, but in the ways that matter.
So I’m asking, “How small is god – to you? How small even compared to the large people you know?
· Is god so small he can only be properly worshiped on a certain day of the week?
· Is god so small he demands certain phrases, maybe in a specific language?
· Is god so small he cannot handle human sexuality, the sexuality invented by god?
· Is god so small he requires followers to abstain from food at certain times?
· Is god so small only persons of a certain sex can lead people to worship, or represent god in some way?
· Is god so small that healing is withheld when the “right” phrases in a prayer are not uttered?
· Is god so small that the architecture or décor of a worship center has to be correct? Pulpit in the center, or on a certain side? Candles where they would not be scandalous?
· Is god so small, puny really, that worshipers must have beards or head covering or not have beards or not wear neckties?
Examine the things you believe that demonstrate to the world that the god you believe in is really, really small.
